Updated pics of my baby black pastels

Hi,

I promised to take some pics of them for people on a UK forum and went a bit nuts. :oops:

Typically it was another overcast day in the land of the midnight haggis but I managed to get quite a few non-flash pics by using mirrors to redirect the little sunlight there was. The ones with the blue cast used flash. :cool:

First up is the little male ( currently sitting at 69g ). Not all of these pics are as good as I would like but they do show his pattern quite well;

Now for the first girlie - she is 68g at the moment and I assured her her butt didn't look big in these pics. :ninja:

Part 2, :gj:

This little girlie was going to be my holdback initially - I hope you can see why. ;)

She is currently 71g of pure sweetness. :hug:

And now for the final girl who shall be staying with me for evah and evah!! ** Ahem** :oops:

She weighs in at 80g at the moment and was a little zoom monster the entire photoshoot. :taz:

Very nice looking black pastels! All are very fine examples too!

Those are great Derek, I love the partial dorsal stripe on them :gj:

Nice! I love me some black pastels. I woulds say my fav is girl #2. I love the dark black back, and her flames are to die for! All great examples of the morph. Congrats on some beauties!

Those are some nice looking black pastels. :gj:

Very nice! I like your hold back! Work on some black pewters for me, they are amazing! :gj:

I am such a sucker for black pastels. You definitely hatched out some hot ones! :D

The 2nd girl is my favorite! She's gorgeous :)

Wow that black is intense on your holdback!!! Very Nice
